Heirs’ writer Kim Eun Sook, who also scored hits with her dramas Lovers in Paris, Secret Garden, and Gentleman's Dignity, is now preparing for her next drama. She has decided that her new project will be Descendants of the Sun, which is about the people who work at disaster sites. Her dramas typically draw big Korean stars, so people are already looking forward to hearing about the cast.

Kim Eun Sook is well known as a top writer who is good at writing romantic comedy dramas with quick and witty dialogue and funny characters. This time she will try to write a melodrama, which will be a new challenge for her to work on a grand scale with other writers. The drama will be co-produced by Baruson Entertainment, which produced the films The Good, The Bad and The Weird, Mother and The Servant. Working with a big film company creates the expectation of high quality for Kim Eun Sook's new drama. The melodrama will be a cooperative writing project between Kim Eun Sook and writer Kim Won Suk, who wrote The Queen's Classroom.

Kim Eun Sook’s dramas have boasted ritzy casts and high viewer ratings, so her new drama draws great attention from fans now. People want to know which top stars will be in it and who will become a new star after being in her drama. Descendants of the Sun begins filming later this year at an unnamed overseas location. It is expected to air in early 2015 on SBS.
